Ingredients
- 6 lices Bacon
- 1 ½ pounds green beans 6-8 beans per bundle
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Cook bacon on the stovetop until slightly cooked (not crispy), about 3-4 minutes. Reserve any drippings.
- Trim and wash green beans. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add baking soda. Add green beans and cook 3 minutes until tender-crisp. Remove from boiling water and place in a bowl of ice water to stop cooking.
- Dab beans dry and toss with reserved bacon drippings (about 2 teaspoons) or olive oil if you don't have drippings, garlic powder, and salt & pepper to taste.
- Cut each slice of bacon in half and wrap around about 6-8 green beans, secure with a toothpick, and place on a parchment-lined pan.
- Combine brown sugar with 1 tablespoon of water and lightly brush over each bundle.
- Roast 20-22 minutes or until bacon is crisp and beans are lightly roasted.
Notes
- Pre-cook the bacon so that a lot of the fat is removed. This will help it crisp without overcooking the beans.
- Blanch (boil and then ice bath) the green beans for the best texture. Be sure to dry them well before wrapping.
